The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denounced as “classic anti-Semitism” remarks by the rapper Kanye West, who in a radio interview last week attempted to explain President Obama’s inability to gain momentum on his policy priorities in Washington, D.C. with the outrageous statement that, “Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people.”
“If the comments are true as reported, this is classic anti-Semitism,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “There it goes again, the age-old canard that Jews are all-powerful and control the levers of power in government. As a celebrity with a wide following, Kanye West should know better. We hope that he will take responsibility for his words, understand why they are so offensive, and apologize to those he has offended.”

The african immigrants THAT COME HERE. They seize the opportunities.
Cripes.
In some ways he's correct, in others not.
It's worth noting that the comment is from an interview in 2013 as is the ADL's comment.
This is from 2013, not today. The Obamacrat leader of the ADL today was either making money or working for Obama. Not going to bother looking up the dates.
Maybe, in the posting. The article is from 2013, long before BLM much less the WLM sweatshirt.
I knew a fellow who had immigrated from Germany and joined the LDS church. He said he had never made more money than he made after becoming a Mormon. I asked why, expecting him to say something about the Lord favoring the righteous. Instead, he said Mormons are encouraged to only do business with Mormons, and he ran a woodworking business, which had become very successful from such networking. I thought that was an admirable trait, not a slur.
2013?? They are really out to get him, now that he’s a Christian and conservative.
I read this week that Kanye has, indeed, gone on a specifically anti-semitic rant. Withdrawing my former “wait and see” support for his “Jews have connections” rant. He’s a mentally ill person; but hurtful remarks are no less offensive because of it.
Just for the record, that ADL article is from December 2013 and quotes the previous long-time executive director, Abe Foxman.
The current ADL executive director, Jonathan Greenblatt, is much, much more a fanatical Leftist than Foxman was. An increasing portion of the thoughtful, anchored-in-reality Jewish community is fed up with the “enemy within” Leftist Jewish leaders. They are calling for the resignation of Greenblatt and his ilk. Greenblatt demonstrates delusion at every turn. The ADL, for instance, agrees with the massive, destructive big lies and attacks on good people by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has long since become what can fairly be described as an organization intent on creating lies and hate campaigns that malign conservative religious organizations and individuals.
